Voiceover & audiobook checker · English + 10 Indian languages
CleanTake checks your take against the script and marks every missed, added, repeated and misread word on the waveform. It checks the audio against ACX specs, picks the best take for every line and hands you the pickup list.
Press play, click any coloured flag, or edit the script and watch it re-check.
Paste it, or upload Word, PDF, text or subtitles. Add the names that must be said right.
Upload WAV, MP3, M4A or FLAC — or record in the browser. One take or ten.
Click through the flags, export the pickup list and markers, send the client a review link.
Narrators, audiobook producers, dubbing studios, e-learning teams and ad agencies recording in English and Indian languages.
Missed, added, repeated and misread words and long pauses, marked on the waveform and in the script. Click a flag to hear it.
Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia. Verbatim transcription keeps every stumble.
Upload three takes; CleanTake scores every line in each and picks the cleanest. Only lines no take got right go on the pickup list.
RMS, peak, noise floor, clipping, room tone and sample rate against ACX/Audible, podcast (−16 LUFS) or broadcast (EBU R128).
Export the pickup list, an EDL of the best takes, and markers for Audacity, Reaper and Audition. Print the pickup list for the booth.
List the names and terms that must be right (authors notice their own name). Misses on those go to the top.
Upload a pickup and see if it will blend in: level, room noise and tone compared with the original session.
Send a read-only report to the author, producer or director. They listen, see the flags and leave comments per line.

CleanTake is a web app that proofs voiceover and audiobook recordings against the script. Upload the script and one or more takes (or record in the browser); it marks every missed, added, repeated and misread word and long pause on the waveform, checks the audio against ACX/Audible, podcast and broadcast specs (loudness, peak, noise floor, clipping, room tone), picks the best take for each line, and exports a pickup list, an EDL and DAW markers. It works in English and 10 Indian languages including Hindi and Telugu, with speech recognition on Surge's own servers. There is a free plan (15 minutes a month), a 14-day Pro trial with no card, and paid plans from ₹1,599 a month — about half of Pozotron.
It compares your recording with the script word by word and marks every missed, added, repeated (stumbles and false starts) and misread word, plus long pauses. It also checks the audio itself: loudness, peak, noise floor, clipping and room tone against ACX/Audible, podcast or broadcast specs.
English (Indian, US and UK accents) and 10 Indian languages: Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi and Odia. Indian languages are transcribed word for word by Sarvam AI (verbatim mode keeps repeats and stumbles); English runs on our own server. Accuracy depends on recording quality, so treat flags as places to listen.
Most word errors are caught, but speech-to-text is not perfect: a clear word can sometimes be heard wrongly, so treat a flag as "listen here". Click any flag to hear that moment. Markers are placed within a fraction of a second of the word.
Yes. Upload as many takes as you like. CleanTake scores every line in every take, picks the cleanest one, and lists only the lines that no take got right. You can override any choice.
A pickup list (CSV, or print it), an issue list, a CMX3600 EDL of the best takes, and markers for Audacity, Reaper and Adobe Audition.
No. Your scripts and recordings are used only to check them. They are stored on Surge's servers in India and you can delete a project at any time.
Free: 15 minutes a month. Solo ₹1,599 a month (4 hours), Pro ₹5,499 (16 hours), Studio ₹13,999 (50 hours). Every new account gets a 14-day Pro trial, no card. Paid plans have a full refund within 7 days of payment, no questions asked.
